My mum has persistent headache and I don’t even know what to do with it.

It sucks to feel helpless.

People expect nurses to know everything. Even nursing students. They ask me questions from the head to toe and expect me to know everything at my finger tips (pun intended =X).

Some feel mighty high that they know something related to health more than I do.

Fact is, do you seriously think that anyone can know everything about the human body in just 1.5 years? There is an astronomical amount of information to digest.

I hate it when people say mindless things like “You are a nurse right, you’re supposed to know.”

If you have ever said that, stop it.

 

Would you see an Oncologist for your broken thumb?

Common sense would tell you not to cos that is stupid and you know an Oncologist can’t do much about your thumb. He might refer you to an Orthopedist who knows better.

 

Like you don’t expect a violinist to know how to play a cello, just because he is a musician.  -_-

 

I need more patience to deal with such people.
